Buzzfeed News spoke to former employees after a lawsuit was filed accusing the company of being “a horrible place to work” for women who become pregnant. The company is also facing a second lawsuit for discrimination.
Nasty Gal
Etalia Gold had been an employee of the edgy online clothing retailer Nasty Gal for about a year when she told her superiors in March 2014 that she was pregnant.
The office of mostly women was overjoyed, especially since Gold was one of the first employees of the young company to have a baby. Her excited co-workers even planned a special baby shower luncheon for her last day on Aug. 29, a former employee told BuzzFeed News.
"Everyone was really excited," the former employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
But the day before her party, Gold was allegedly told she was being terminated from her position and would lose her health insurance on Sept. 1. The marketing specialist was then forced to pack up her things and leave. She was 36 weeks pregnant.
